Chapter 31: Tunnel Horror 2

  "Go, go, start, start right away!!!" The fan hadn't stopped yet, and Lin Yu had already rushed in. He clearly saw that the timer on the wall jumped from 10 to 9. He knew what it meant.

  He had only 9 seconds left from passing through the first fan.

  He flew quickly through the first fan, and in front of him was a huge pit with a diameter of 7 meters, below which were five sets of giant fans.

  Those fans' momentum had not completely dissipated and were still spinning rapidly due to their massive inertia.

  Lin Yu hesitated for a moment, not waiting for the fan to come to a complete stop. Judging from the current situation, it was impossible for the fan to stop within 10 seconds. This meant that Lin Yu had to pass through while the fan was still spinning.

  He immediately plunged down, his feet firmly planted on the fan blades. This was a thousand-pound drop technique. Although Lin Yu's agility was better than that of a true master in the jianghu, this simple movement still didn't stump him.

  His hands quickly unfastened the safety buckles on his body, that thing can be used later. At this time, if you buckle a safety buckle on your body and get stuck by the fan, you'll be completely stupid. Lin Yu felt that it's better not to joke with life.

  He clutched the safety hook in his mouth and with a flip of his body, he passed directly through the second fan. At this time, only 15 seconds had elapsed.

  Lin and Zhang let out a sigh of relief, with this situation, there shouldn't be any problems anymore.

  "Waaaahhhhhh....."

  The accident occurred when Lin Yu passed the 4th fan. Lin Yu passed four fans in just 30 seconds, but at this time, the outermost first fan had resumed operation and reached its maximum speed.

  Anyone with a little common sense knows that once the first fan moves quickly, the fans behind it will be driven by the airflow. Just like in a classroom where only one electric fan is turned on, the other fans will also rotate, which is the same principle.

  Lin Yu had just stood up to the 5th fan when a fierce gust of air came rushing down from above. Lin Yu was pushed by that huge force and crashed onto the fan with a loud bang.

  And just at this moment, with the push of the airflow, the 5th group of fans began to accelerate, and in almost an instant, the speed of the fans reached a fairly terrifying value.

  Lin Yu had been through the centrifugal traction test in A Corps. But in this huge ventilation duct, Lin Yu felt that this damned fan was at least 100 times faster than that tester.

  I don't know how many times I've been turned around, but Lin Yu's residual light glanced at the timer on the wall.

  Only 2 seconds left!!!!!

  Lin Yu had no hesitation now was the time for gambling. He almost closed his eyes and then dove headfirst from between the fan leaves.

  At the moment Lin Yu drilled out of the wind tunnel, the 5th group of wind turbines started simultaneously. The huge fan blades were like sickles, and with a "whoosh", they cut into Lin Yu's feet.

  Lin didn't feel any pain, nor did he have time to feel any pain. The 6th group of fans were spinning faster than the 5th group, and now, his time was down to just 10 seconds.

  Within 10 seconds, if he can't escape from this high-speed fan, he will become a meat paste.

  Lin stood firmly on the fan blade, this time with preparation, relying on a mouthful of true energy that he had been diligently cultivating since childhood, and fixed himself firmly on the fan.

  Then he lowered his body and stuck himself to the fan blade, ready to drop down to the next level.

  "Damn it!!!" Lin Yu shouted loudly.

  The last 6th group of blades, unexpectedly different from the previous model!!! The distance between the blades is only more than 40 centimeters!! Lin looked at the gap that didn't know if it could pass through and was stunned.

  There are only six seconds left.

  Gong Meng stared blankly at the computer screen in front of him, which was monitoring 6 sets of huge exhaust fans. With Jiao Zhe's command, the speed of the fans began to slow down more and more, finally reaching a passable extreme!!!

  "Buzz!!!!!!"

  A faint sound.

  A large countdown box appears on the left side of the screen.

  “60，59，58，57。。。。”

  The numbers are getting smaller and smaller. Gong Meng's pupils suddenly contracted. He seemed to have seen Lin You in the fan's siege, hesitating between advancing and retreating.

  "Director Gong."

  A loud shout brought back Gong Meng's thoughts. Gong Meng had just lifted his head and saw a worried face.

  "What's wrong? Who are you?"

  "I'm a meter reader from the Yangtze River Water Control Bureau, I found something very important." The man bit his lip tightly, and Gong Meng could clearly see that even a little blood had seeped out of the corner of his mouth. "I think, maybe it's bad news!!!!"

  "Bad news? Calm down, what's going on?"

  Wang Meng stood up and found a chair for the other person, he also needed to calm down now. The current situation couldn't get any worse. All entrances of the tunnel were sealed off, and the only commander with experience in handling sudden events had abandoned himself, rushing alone into the deadly fan.

  Jiāo Měng looked at the number on the screen, which had already turned into a zero.

  "Xiao Liu, get in touch with Lin through the directional device right away, I believe he won't die."

  "Yes." Director Gong's secretary walked out. He was very sensible, this wasn't just a conversation task, he knew that Director Gong didn't want to know some things right now.

  Secretary Liu is also a veteran of the officialdom, and if there is any bad news leaked out now, the already fragile confidence will likely collapse instantly. Then, all the efforts made by Lin and others before would be in vain.

  "Alright, now you can tell me your news, young man. However, I hope you take responsibility for every word you say. Do you understand what I mean?"

  "I understand, Director." The young man shook his head, his face turning even paler. "I guarantee that every word I said today is true."

  "Alright, you speak." Gong Meng made a great effort to compose himself and listen to the young man's words.

  "Director, I've discovered that the tunnel across the river has a huge safety hazard. Look, the upper part of the tunnel is almost entirely covered in concrete and the structure is extremely solid. However, they used old-fashioned techniques on the riverbed below. In itself, this wouldn't be a big problem. With the firm welding to both banks, this tunnel could stay submerged in the Yangtze River for a hundred years without issue. But now the situation is different!!!"

  The young man's fingers pressed on the design drawing, and where he pointed was exactly the connection between the tunnel and Hanchang direction.

  "Now the connection with Han Chang direction has a problem, the lower platform can no longer fully hold the tunnel!!! I just measured the tunnel and found... I found... I found that the tunnel and its connections on both sides are constantly falling off!!! The tunnel is drifting downstream at a speed of 1 mm per minute!!! And... and... the speed is increasing in geometric multiples."

  "So... So, you tell me. Tell me." Director Gong felt his heart no longer belonged to him. This once calm and composed director of public security suddenly seemed to have aged 10 years in an instant.

  "What's the worst-case scenario?"

  "We still have 4 hours. If we can't take any measures within 4 hours, the tunnel will collapse completely and there will be no survivors. And..."

  The young man hesitated for half a day before speaking up.

  "Perhaps, perhaps, the tunnel will continue to drift downward, posing a great danger to the downstream Yangtze River Bridge 2, even... even..."

  "I understand..." Gong Meng understood the young man's meaning. Such a massive block of concrete tunnel, if it were to crash into the Yangtze River with tremendous kinetic energy, everyone knew what kind of consequences there would be.

  It's no longer just a problem with the tunnel itself.

  "Director!!!!!"

  Gong Meng was deep in thought, but Xiao Liu had already rushed over from outside the door. Gong Meng did not scold Xiao Liu for his rashness, because he could see that something urgent must have happened!!

  "Director, something's wrong!! We've lost contact with Lin Yu, after he went down the wind tunnel, we... we can't get in touch with him anymore..."
